CSS-Tricks #76: A Tour of jQuery on a Live Site

I’m busy, you’re busy, we’re all busy trying to meet deadlines and get things done in this crazy web world. I love learning new technologies when I can, but I’m the first to admit that I reach for tools that I already know well because I can be instantly productive that way. jQuery is one of those tools for me. In this screencast I walk through a website where I used jQuery all over the place in different capacities to get things done.

Vectortuts+: Create Flash Animations Entirely in Illustrator – Screencast

"The world of animation can seem really intimidating — between AfterEffects, Flash and everything else, there's so much to learn. And who has time? Never fear — you can create simple Flash animations without ever leaving the familiar confines of Illustrator, and without any knowledge of Flash. Here are two easy ways to get things moving." - Cheryl Graham

NETTUTS: Easy Website Updates with PageLime

PageLime makes the process of editing static websites laughably easy. There are times when a full CMS like WordPress is far too complicated when only simple edits are required - not to mention the fact that a static template must first be modified accordingly to work with WordPress. Wouldn't it be easier if your current static website could instantly be integrated with a service, without requiring hours of conversion time? This is where PageLime comes in.

ThemeForest: Ask JW: A Plugin to Make Important Announcements

Today’s Q&A comes courtesy of Frederico Gonzalez, from Twitter. He asked if there was an easy way to add announcement bars to the top of his site, much like the one on ActiveDen right now (assuming you’re not logged in). Luckily, as you’ll find, it’s quite simple to whip up a jQuery plugin that will make these announcements a cinch to add.

NETTUTS: ASP.NET from Scratch: Lesson 1

Nettuts+ is primarily a PHP haven; however, I'm sure we can all agree that there are many fantastic, and technically more powerful languages and frameworks at our disposal. Jeremy McPeak, author of Professional AJAX, and Beginning JavaScript: 4th Edition, will teach you how to build ASP.NET applications from scratch over the course of the next several video tutorials. Enjoy!

NETTUTS: How to Build a Simple Content Slider jQuery Plugin

I was recently asked by a reader to recommend a helpful content slider plugin. No doubt, there are a bunch of excellent options available -- some which are, perhaps, too excellent! With so much flexibility comes extra weight; especially when sometimes you only need a simple slide or fade transition.

CSS-Tricks #75: How Not To Design a Checkout

You’ll have to forgive me here folks, this isn’t a very constructive screencast. I was frustrated at the crappy checkout process for a software product I was trying, so I thought I’d screencast it as a lesson to us all on how not to design a checkout. It was confusing, frustrating, error-prone, and make me feel unsafe about even going through with the transaction. If you are designing a site to sell something online, nothing is more important to your success than the checkout process and it deserves to be made as simple and pleasurable as possible.

NETTUTS: The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Design and Converting it to HTML and CSS

This screencast will serve as the final entry in a multi-part series across the TUTS sites which demonstrates how to build a beautiful home page for a fictional business. We learned how to create the wireframe on Vectortuts+; we added color, textures, and effects on Psdtuts+; now, we'll take our completed PSD and convert it into a nicely coded HTML and CSS website.

NETTUTS: Typekit: Removing the Wrapping Paper

Services like Typekit live and die by how intuitive their products are. A couple weeks ago, I finally received my beta invite to join. For those unfamiliar, Typekit is a service that allows you to use a plethora of fonts on your own site with minimal effort.

CSS-Tricks #74: Editable CSS3 Image Gallery

We build a pretty typical image gallery design pattern, a grid of images that pop up larger when clicked. But this image gallery page makes use of hot semantic HTML5 markup, loads of visual treats with CSS3 and jQuery, and made editable through the CMS PageLime. Quick reminder, the demo is awesome-est in a WebKit browser (Safari or Chrome).

CSS-Tricks #72: Building a Website (2 of 3): HTML/CSS Conversion

In part 2 of this series, we begin the HTML/CSS conversion of the Photoshop mockup we created in part one. We start with a very skeletal project framework. Then we take a look at the Photoshop file layer organization. Then we start from the bottom up, creating the pieces we need from the Photoshop file and writing the HTML and CSS we need to get the job done. Much of the work isn’t actually “slicing” the Photoshop file, but looking closely at it and trying to mimic what is done there with correct markup and CSS techniques.

CSS-Tricks #71: Building a Website (1 of 3): Photoshop Mockup

This is the start of a three-part series on building a website. This will be a real website for a musician friend of mine, who’s website I happen to ruin during a routine WordPress upgrade. In part 1, we start from absolute scratch in Photoshop, with just a few provided resources from the client. We design the homepage and skin for the site, according to new needs that the client has, the feel he wants to project, and keeping true to the tradition and history of the site.

ThemeForest: WordPress for Designers: Day 18

I’ll bet that many of you have used or have been searching for a WordPress contact form to you for yourself or a client. Plugins can be great and very convenient, but your also relying on the plugin developer to make sure it works and does what you want. Today, we are going to build our contact page, complete with a working AJAX/php contact form! We will use the jQuery library to pull off the AJAX call and animation effects. It’s a day you won’t want to miss if you have ever wondered how to build an AJAX contact form with WordPress.
